No, I haven't previewed, but a few of the blogs/podcast (DA/SBTB/Smexy) liked them. Someone on the podcast mentioned hating #1 from Bastard but liking this series.

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Winning the Beauty's Heart by Libby Malin, another in her Legends and Fairy Tales Refashioned f/m folklore-remix contemporary romances, if you happened to enjoy the last. Malin is a current Sourcebooks author.

SNOW WHITE in Texas....

Local beauty Luanne Greene makes her living handling bookkeeping for several businesses in her small town of Paradise Hill, but her business is drying up as more and more clients move to accounting software. Just as she faces a crossroads in her professional life, she's confronted with a challenge in her personal one. One of her clients, developer Carson Woodsman, asks her out...just as his ex-wife, Erica Royale, shows up on his doorstep. Erica is a disgraced Hollywood starlet -- whose agent continually reassures her she's the 'fairest beauty of them all' -- bent on winning her ex back.

When she determines that Carson is smitten with Luanne, she does everything in her power to destroy the blossoming affair, even following Luanne to her new job as business manager for a small dance studio where Lu rediscovers her first love -- dance -- while surrounded by 'seven little prancers,' the tots in a class soon presenting a recital. While Erica enlists the aid of architect Eli Hunter to 'bring her the heart of Luanne Greene,' Carson falls harder and harder in love with the dark-haired beauty...until a set-up betrayal forces him to rescue their relationship from the poisonous machinations of Erica and Eli.

Be My Prince (The Royal Trilogy #1)
by Julianne MacLean

Attention one and all. His Royal Highness, Prince Randolph of Petersbourg, will set sail for London in early June and reside at St. James Palace for one full month…Some say the true motive for the prince’s visit to our fair country is to seek and marry his future queen. I will therefore pose the question to our devoted and reflective readers: Who among us will be the chosen one? —From the London Ballroom Society Pages

Lady Alexandra Monroe has more than romance on her mind when she meets handsome Prince Randolph at the Regent’s Ball. While all the other ladies fall for his famous charms, she remains focused on her true goal—to seize the crown of Petersbourg for herself and return her father’s bloodline to the throne. Alexandra is ruthless in her ambitions, until she meets Prince Randolph’s dangerously handsome and seductive younger brother, Nicholas, who arouses her passions in ways she never imagined. Before long, Alexandra finds herself caught up in a complex web of secrets and scandals, where the only hope for her survival is in the arms of the one man she cannot resist - the man she is destined to love forever…

Not sure if it's geo-restricted or what, but I can't view the page. So, thank you for posting the titles individually. Not that I buy from Google, but I can check out the price match at Amazon.

I'll also check out the other threads on different genres.

Black Knights Inc. Boxed Set: Volumes 1-3
by Julie Ann Walker
(Sourcebooks Casablanca)

Behind the facade of their tricked-out motorcycle shop is a covert team comprised of the most elite ex-military specialists. New York Times bestselling author Julie Ann Walker has thrilled readers with her sexy Black Knights, Inc. romantic suspense series. Now, get the first three books for one low price: Hell on Wheels, In Rides Trouble, and Rev It Up.

About the Books in This Boxed Set

1. Hell on Wheels
Ex–Marine Nate Weller is an expert at keeping his cool, which is how he keeps his feelings for Ali Morgan in check. Sweet, sexy Ali is his best friend's sister...and totally off limits. Ali's never seen anything sexier than Nate straddling his custom Harley-or the flash in his eyes when she tells him she's in trouble. With Nate, her life is in his capable hands--but her heart is another story.

2. In Rides Trouble
Trouble tends to find Becky Reichert. Like the day ex-SEAL Frank Knight showed up, wanting to use her shop as a cover for his special ops team. Becky prides herself on being able to weld and shoot just as well as the big boys. But while munitions and mayhem are Frank's way of life, the last thing he needs is Becky in the way. Yet it's just his luck when she ends up in a hostage situation. Come hell or high water, he will get her back...

3. Rev It Up
Ex-SEAL Jake "the Snake" Sommers was known for striking quickly, quietly, and lethally. That's also how he broke Michelle Carter's heart. It was the only way to keep her safe-from himself. Four years later, Jake wants another chance, but Michelle has never forgiven him. But when her brother ticks off a mobster, she must do the unimaginable: place her life in Jake's hands. And once she does, he'll never let her go...

Freebies for the m/m romance readers in the audience: Dreamspinner Press says they are scheduling free book offers via Twitter through the end of November, directly from their website store.

According to their Facebook page, they will be sporadically giving away between 8 AM & 10 PM EST selected titles in English, French, Spanish, and German , announced on Twitter.

You have only a 1-hour window in which to get the book after it gets announced on Twitter, but they do seem to be giving some sort of warning as to when the books can be expected to be announced (first English one starts in 10 mins, French in 1h15m as I type this).

Here's their Twitter. Enjoy!

(Personally, I just wish they'd do a special 1-day newsletter announcement of a freebie and give people all day to get it like they used to, since maybe people don't want to or can't sit around on the internet all day refreshing their damn Twitter*.

But free is free, and it's nice that they're still giving stuff away. Even if it's considerably harder to find and get.

* What can I say? Overdependence on social media brings out my anti-social streak.)

[Britomart]

Free from Amazon US DE:

The Trellised Lane by Fiona Hill (Diversion Books; orig. Berkley Medallion 1975). I have not yet read this one, but I have read others by this author, and they are very witty traditional regencies. Highly recommended!

Living the charmed life seems easy for Julia. Edgely Hall is a lovely estate, after all, but Julia wants to see beyond its gardens, to venture out and see the world for herself. She wants a life full of adventure! And so she induces her brother Fitz to accompany her on an extended visit to London, where she might discover her heart’s destiny. But romance turns out to be a complicated matter, and Julia finds herself the center of a circle of suitors, duelists, and intrigue!

The Google page is blank for me too. So thanks to all who have posted individual books!

Thanks for posting this. I agree with your comments as I don't do social media, but hopefully I can snag a couple freebies from my wishlist.

only 12? You're being really good, what's wrong?

No, I haven't previewed, but a few of the blogs/podcast (DA/SBTB/Smexy) liked them. Someone on the podcast mentioned hating #1 from Bastard but liking this series.

I did preview it and think I'll give it a go. Do you know how long the Google sale is on? As others have said, I get a blank page with the link as well. I'm hoping it will come on sale at Kobo tonight if the sale's still on?!

Also, what blogs are SBTB and Smexy? I've seen them mentioned before but haven't really checked them out.
